Does this Karl Schultze document prove some part of the Holocaust? (cremation at Auschwitz)
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2025 5:40 am
An individual on X suggested that documents attesting to mass deliveries of coke to Auschwitz had been destroyed by the Nazis. Think tens of thousands of tons of coke, delivered in secret. When I pointed out that this was not (to my knowledge) the argument that Holocaust historians use, he offered this text in response with no commentary:
Since X is not an effective format for debate, I brought it here. Perhaps the user in question will grace us with his presence and enlighten us on how this alleged document vindicates the Holocaust Narrative, or perhaps he can say what it has to do with the missing deliveries of coke to Auschwitz. Of course anyone else is welcome to jump in.
This document is unfamiliar to me, and I can find no reference to it, nor has he responded to requests for a source. It contains several astonishing claims, one being the impossible and hypothetical 1,440 capacity number found in the "Bischoff Letter". (Bischoff Letter thread.) Another claim is that there was a "stacking method" called "Express-Arbeit" which improved cremation capacity.This is literally from Karl Schultze, who designed the ovens, in 1943:
1. With continuous operation of our 3‑muffle ovens, using the stacking method we’ve developed (“Express work”), you can expect up to 1,440 corpses per oven in 24 hours.
2. Fuel consumption runs about 14 kg of coke‑equivalent per body, i.e. roughly 20 tons per day.
3. To maintain throughput, the ovens must never fully cool; ash removal should be done in 30‑minute intervals during ongoing operation.
4. We recommend holding a constant chamber temperature of 800–900 °C and automating the air supply to ensure optimal burn conditions.
5. For a full 24‑hour shift, 1½ hours of maintenance per day is sufficient, ideally in the early morning.

Original German in case you wanted it:
1. Bei durchgehender Betriebnahme der 3‑kammrigen Öfen unter Anwendung des von uns entwickelten Stapelverfahrens („Express-Arbeit“) ist mit einer Leistung von bis zu 1 440 Leichen innerhalb von 24 Stunden je Ofen zu rechnen.
2. Der Brennstoffverbrauch liegt dabei bei ca. 14 kg koksäquivalent pro Leiche, was einem Gesamtbedarf von rund 20 t täglich entspricht. 3. Zur Gewährleistung dieser Leistung müssen die Öfen niemals ganz erkalten; die Entaschung ist während des laufenden Betriebes in Intervallen von 30 Minuten vorzusehen.
4. Wir empfehlen, die Öfen auf einer konstanten Brennkammertemperatur von 800–900 °C zu halten und die Luftzufuhr automatisiert zu regeln, um optimale Ausbrandbedingungen zu sichern.
5. Bei vollen 24‑Stunden‑Schichten ist eine tägliche Wartung von 1 ½ Stunden ausreichend, vorzugsweise am frühen Morgen.
